Serre Chevalier takes its name from the peak that dominates the Guisane Valley and is made up of four separate villages - Briancon, Chantemerle, Villeneuve and Monetier Les Bains. This fantastic ski area has 250 kilometres of well interconnected pistes, ample off piste opportunities above Villeneuve and Monetier and probably more trees than any other resort in Europe. We've chosen accommodation situated in the villages of Villeneuve, Briançon and Chantemerle for their good selection of bars, restaurants and shops.
About Hotel Garrigae Caserne de Briancon
Once a proud 19th‑century military barracks, Hotel Garrigae Caserne de Briançon has been beautifully transformed into a modern four‑star hotel. Minimalist design and natural materials create a calm, light‑filled atmosphere – perfect after a day carving down Serre Chevalier’s slopes.
The hotel is just moments from Briançon’s UNESCO‑listed old town and a short five-minute walk to the ski lifts, so this is an authentic base for your mountain adventure. Return each afternoon and step into a sensory journey at the Cinq Mondes spa and wellness area and give your muscles the recovery session they deserve. Your stay here can include soothing spa time, spacious rooms-with-a-view and a brasserie-restaurant serving regional flavours. Together, it creates a quietly luxurious ambience that captures the spirit of the Hautes-Alpes.
The Hautes-Alpes sees high sunshine levels year-round, so soak up more vitamin D on the outdoor terrace. Imagine a hot chocolate in hand, panoramic views of the surrounding snowy peaks and the warmth of the sun on a bluebird day. And what better way to welcome the evening than with a visit to the bar? Sip a cocktail, settle in by the roaring fireplace and plan your ski routes for the following day.
